 to the forum! Those are called Bag Marks. It is damage from other coins bumping into it like would happen if you had a whole bag of quarters and the edge of one quarter struck the face of a different coin. |

The edge of another coin struck at the areas you show.
Sometimes called "railroad tracks".

I thank you,But looking at picture 2 at the middle red arrow,How could a bag strike add material? Also with the hoof on arrow 3? Just asking and I would like to know more about this ,So that I can learn how do identify things better. Thanks

The "lumps" along the horse's legs are die chips, a common occurrence.

The bag marks are "coin contact" you can see where the reeded edge of another coin has struck it. Raised areas are sometimes from the die being chipped, and sometimes from metal displacement from contact. If you post a close-up we'd probably know which.

My camera pretty much sucks. So where exactly should I give my attention when taking these pictures? Once again thanks y'all!

Red arrows are pointing to Die Chips. The Green Circles are bag marks from coin contact in the bags. This has been mentioned above, just agreeing with the assessment.

I wasn't saying the pictures are bad. I was just asking for a close-up of the arrows area. I'm not sure all three are chips. I think I see some damage. It's not really important though, either way the coin is spendable.
